Ouch.

Can I just say, I'm British and I'm sorry we voted leave. I and most of my friends and family voted remain.

We are absolutely devastated, shocked and scared for our future. I don't mean in a "we're all going to die, argh it's an apocalypse" kinda way. Just in a 'we're fearful for the direction our country will go in now' and 'we don't want economic uncertainty or another recession' kinda way.

[Ack]

Speaking of which, the breakdowns of the votes are quite interesting:

I suspect Scotland will split with the UK and join the EU. I think Britain will be OK in the long run, but I think they'd be better paired with the EU. The country is too powerful to simply curl up and die, but I do think their xenophobia will hurt them.

Fun fact: de Gaulle never wanted Britain to join the EU, source

I really hope you guys are ok, if the situation feels bad form here, I can't imagine how it might be from the inside.

Economists have been predicting a second recession for some time now and this might very well be what begins it. Let's hope we can battle the weather.

At least 28 dead and 60 wounded in a terror attack at the Istanbul Ataturk Airport.

Prayers for all the families and victims. It's so sad to lose one's life, but losing it to a terrorist attack while you're just trying to go about your business is just incredibly tragic.

This is the greatest article written about Brexit so far: Make the UK the 51st state!

Yes, it's a joke article.

It'd be funny if it did actually happen, though. Sort of a coming full circle thing.
